Improvement strategies for oil/water separation based on electrospun SiO2 nanofibers.

Oil spills and oily effluents from industry and daily life pose a great threat to all organisms in the ecosystem, while aggravating the problem of water scarcity, which has developed into a global challenge. Therefore, the development of advanced materials and technologies for oil/water separation has become a focus of attention. One-dimensional (1D) SiO2 nanofibers (SNFs) have become one of the most widely used inorganic nanomaterials in the past due to their stable chemical properties, excellent biocompatibility, and high temperature resistance etc. Meanwhile, electrospinning technique, as an emerging technology for treating oil/water emulsions, electrospun SNFs on this basis also has a number of advantages such as adjustable wettability, diverse structure and good connectivity. This review provides a systematic overview of the research progress of electrospun SNFs in different aspects. In this review, we first introduce the basic principles of electrospun SNFs, then focus on the design structures of various SNFs, propose corresponding strategies for the property improvement of SNFs, also analyze and consider the applications of SNFs. Finally, the challenges faced by electrospun SNFs in the field of oil/water separation are analyzed, and the future directions of electrospun SNFs are summarized and prospected.
